This home is located at 1216 Erickson Street, occupying the building for the Negro Day Nursery and is badly in need of repairing, papering and painting. The nursery is located in the Social Service Bureau, and the city furnishes the house and land, but it is incumbent upon Houston Negroes to maintain the building. In order to put this house in first-class appearance and decent shape, the Choral Club have decided that the proceeds of their third annual musical festival, to be rendered at the City Hall on March 20, will be utilized for this purpose; and the citizens of Houston, to purchase tickets, attend this program, enjoy a rare and rich music experience, and a worthy institution and landable cause. These singers really need no introduction and South Texas, for their benefit programs for various causes and agencies are well known throughout the country. Though busy people and not posing as professional singers, the memorial concert takes time and find pleasure in rendering this type of service to the community. Our concert will that our people, particularly, will show their appreciation of the club's efforts and the night's program in large numbers. Every minister in Houston is urgently requested to encourage his audience to emphasize the far-reaching importance of no delay for the success of this festival next Tuesday night will appeal to appear and cause which are near and dear to us. A race which impacts its children and which refuses or fails to cooperate with our white friends are giving both time and money to not only support the event but not advanced very far in the scales of civilization.

The festival will be given as a benefit for papering-painting fund of Bethlehem Negro Day, 1214 Erickson Street, Fourth Ward. The charge is often made that Southern Negroes will not put themselves to any expense or trouble in organizing their forces for the full war, but that they are insufficiently militable and constitutional rights; that one little defeat or reverse is sufficient cause for us to lose heart and "mit cold" in our tracks; that we too often expect other races to not only fight to obtain our rights, but also put up the snikes of battle. The Texas Negroes will have a chance to attend and kindred赛 Saturday, March 24, when the statewide conference, sponsored by the student Colored League of Texas, will be held at Pyatt Temple, beginning promptly at 10:20 a.m. For years we have been too content to "let George do it," and when we meet our approval and endorsement, we engage in our favorite postings, like our lyrics of love that HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1928 Under the direction of Mrs. P. O. Smith, directress-pianist, the club has been rehearing for several weeks, and, if the organization lives up to its past record and reputation, music lovers are in for a rare musical treat featuring Negro spirituals, folk songs, and an ensemble of the club will appear in "Hilarious Hodepodge;" while Mrs. H. M. Middleton, Mrs. Sarah Shepherd-Jones and Mrs. W. W. Humbert in solo roles, Mrs. J. W. Hubert Red-blooded men, such as we profess to be, do not sit around, winkle and complain about their "sad and bitter lot," but they, while their constituents are scheming and planning, "are tearing upwards in the night." Vital and farreaching issues are confronting not only the Negroes of Louisiana but also the Lone Star State, and so patriotic citizens should be no remission to his holdings in the interest of his family, race, party, state and nation.

Dr. L. M. Mitchell will render violin number, Miss M. E. B. Isaacs will give one of her dramatic readings, and Miss Geraldine Foster will give a piano.

The testimony accuses the chief of police, H. L. Quig, of placing his official approval on the alleged lynching. The testimony was given and the accusation made at the trial of Police Lieutenant M. A. Tibbita and Detective John Candell, who are charged with the murder of H. Kier, the Negro bellboy. Two officers testified that Kier, who had been arrested on a complaint that he had insulted a white woman, was being escorted by the two officers named above and several others, to the outskirts of the city. TOLBERT'S REIGN IS THREATENED BY OUTRAGED G. O. P. DELEGATES; BOTH FACTIONS SUPPORT HOOVER Columbia, S. C.—(ANP)—For the first time in twenty years, the leadership of W. Joseph W. Tolbert in the state Republican ranks, has been challenged and threatened and "an opposition ticket" has been elected. This followed in the wake of what has been called a "dismal" district in which the feat ever accomplished in a Republican state convention." At the outset of the convention it was evident that the well-oiled Tolbert machine was in the usual working order and there was little indication that there would be any slip-up. The men wrench was thrown into the machinery when the Rev. J. C. Tolbert was appointed the permanent chairman, permitted Attorney N. J. Frederick to speak. When the party reached the outskirts, the witness testified that Detective Thomas Narworth took Kler from the car and to the astonishment of the crowd, and he told him. The affair was related to the chief of police, who is charged with telling them that "would have to get together some story so that all TOLBERT'S REIGN BY OUTRAGED G. BOTH FACTIONS Columbia, S.

Republican. He gained fame by his efforts, to bring the Aiken lynchers to justice, ascend the floor and the cheers of the entire nation. The hall resounded with cheers for "Frederick and "We want Frederick," and the leadership of the leadership of "Tireless Joe" Tolbert and urged the convention to support the Robert's donation, and to foster the connection of Negroes as Georgia and Mississippi had done. Following his address, the audience applauded and ascended the platform and attempted to refute the arguments set forth by Frederick, and the seed had been sown. Pullman Porters To Declare Strike For Higher Pay Kansas City, Mo.—As a result of the adverse decision rendered by the Interstate Commerce Commission that Pullman porters look to passengers for increment in their wages, even though they do not do the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is making immediate preparations to declare a strike on all Pullman cars. Indignation runs high among the porters because of the refusal of the retainer to pay them for their work, though it has recognized the conductors' union and increased their wages. The conductors' union has 340 for 240 hours work a month and six months back.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS EDITOR DUNJEE SPEAKS BEFORE WHITE CLASSES Oklahoma City, Okla.—(ANP)—An inland delivered before the class in journalism of Oklahoma City College, here Monday morning, Rostock University outlined the history and progress of the Negro in the journalistic field and pointed out in eloquent terms the place of the press in the general progress of the race in America. He outlined the history and progress of the first paper to be edited by a Negro, John B. Ruswurm, almost a hundred years ago. Mr. Dunjee went on to write when more than 400 periodicals are cited and published by Negroes. The negroes, referring especially to the difficulties and criticism faced by the race, Mr. Dunjee pointed out that Negroes expect their newspapers to progress of the race, Mr. Dunjee pointed out that Negroes expect their newspapers to race and to fight the battles necessary to gain full rights as citizens of the race and to fight the battles necessary to gain full rights as citizens of the race and to address the problems of the law she addressed afternoon. This time it is to Chester, Pennsylvania. Chester has the reputation of being a "hard nut to crack." People say things about Chester, and authorities resist it and are fully in favor of a serious plot in the thirty-five miles of industrial plants along the Delaware makes it a focal point for migrants, knights of the road, seekers of fortune, social workers, politicians, and artists in local color. Therefore Chester is intrigued. But it is not for this phase that we journeyed to Chester. The occurrence of the community league of Southern Pennsylvania. Cavalry Baptist Church on Second Street and the community league of the more hours, a goodly number stood in respectful silence. The rostrum of biracial citizens. The district attorney, the editor of the leading principal of the high school, two principals of junior high schools, a colored man, a principal of a grammar school, the secretary of the Y. A. the principal of Chayney Normal School, the president in this Baptist Church, and the Chayney singers vied with the inmusic for the occasion. For the community league has set out to do just what its name means: to build a community university. So it holds Sunday afternoon meetings, at which speakers tell the needs of the race, show how these needs can be net, the problems of the race, and how to solve in the week days it helps when it is called up for help. The league has set up the Avonide area section. It met with opposition due to misunderstanding of the position of the school league. It was able to call conferring sessions together, make peace, help to put on the necessary vote to bring about consideration of an incumbent league as an incumbent of the "union r o m o" in the school, and school elections,-adjusted race relations, harmonious judication of factional differences, instruction to voters, open forums for community members, an annual exhibit of community products, the fostering of hand craft, assistance with rural problems—these are some of the phases of the work of the league. George W. Blount is the extension-tender to make the community league the biggest factor in racial life in the city. He will be office in the Cheyney Normal School he arranges the great Sunday meet at the Chester County looked-for feature in the life of Chester and Delaware co. utilities.

The Empathy of Formal Worship (v. 1-4). 2. The human heart is to depart from the life and to choose the more form which is calculated to express the life. The traditions and customs are by use for the purpose of the life, and frequently are crystallized into laws and made to superseme the laws and institutions of God. 3. This was that Christ's disciples ate bread with unwashed hands. The charge was not on the basis of physical uncleanness, but their disregard for the law in the throughaging of the hands before eating, as well as washing the pots and vessels. 4. Examples of empty forms (v. 2-4). (1) Washing of the hands before eating (v. 2). They not only washed their hands often but diligently and intensely. (2) Washing of the pots, tables, and braces vessels. The ceremonial washing applied to the vessels as well as the pots. 5. Explaination demanded by the Pharisees (v. 5). They asked anchrist the creature the incarnation of the elders with reference to ceremonial cleaning. 6. Christ's manner (v. 6, 7). He declared that worship which centered on the heart was less as was lip service where the heart was away from God. This he calls hypocrisy, even such as foreclosing on the heart of God, day made much of external observance and of religious rites, while their hearts remained unchanged. 7. Establishment of God of Mediators (v. 8, 13). 8. How it may be done (v. 8). It was done by punctuously observing the precepts of man, such as washing of the feet, the washing of the commandments of God. This is being done by those who make much of the externalities of religion but at the same time difficult to the moral requirements. 2. An instance cited (vv. 9-13).

"The information contained in too general" complains a critic of the stories appearing under the "Industry and Business" caption. "What the average man desires is specific information about a certain line of business," the complainant continues, entirely unmindful of the editor's note accompanying each sentence to the effect that "If stories appearing in this column suggest any particular question to your mind you may address the editor, the secretary of the National Negro Business League, or the inquiry division of the Domestic Commerce Division." Now, isn't that plain? As a master of fact, the whole object of the combination of these three national agencies is to give special information "On what it costs to open a certain kind of business" to tell the chance of success in given situation—the relative importance—concrete illustrations, graphs, and a guiding number. The purpose of the articles is to place at the disposal of readers who may be interested, the services of the market research staff of government scientists, the great mercantile library of the Department of Commerce, the great library of each and every business and the judgment of experts in business problems. However, that could not be done in a newspaper. Each inquiry is answered to the person making it. No man would want his confidential questions read public, even though there was a paper large enough to contain the information, that great big inquiry section. So the column will always be a general one. SCHOOL MA'AMS AND MOTOR CARS MAKE NEW MARKETS Two factors in the life of the Southeastern states that are given credit with being of tremendous influence in changing the buying power of the territory uniplexed by the government research men who compiled "The Commercial Survey of the Southeast" recently released, are the educational improvements and the development of motor roads. Speaking of motor roads, this government publication states: "The enormous investment in highways in highways during recent decades to have benefited the region far in excess of actual expenditures. The establishment of main arteries of travel between population centers and the opening up of inaccessible country districts by roads connecting with the main throughfares is constantly making possible easy travel from all points within every state. Those improvements in transportation facilities are not only encouraging an important tourist business, but are making for a greater realization of the region's resources, and bringing the country districts and cities closer together, but are encouraging the development of businesses and ideas, which is to the advantage of urban and rural dwellers." Relating educational advancement to improved business conditions, the survey publishes tables prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Education in which a reduction in literacy Washington, D.

They complained that the schools and journalism of power in the race were not holding the hand of encouragement, and that they followed in the line along which they must fear encouragement. They must fear encouragement. They must fear encouragement, and consequently it was better to ignore it. It is, indeed, a condition of development, at present, of the race, in which the lads drag and drag another back to lend him a helping hand, to lend the crab and drag another back with which the first production of members of the race, of a measure of going, have been received, we iging with the race that must be starved and discouraged; must die or find lower and lower, and encouraged jazz and the blues by criticism, although we attempt to criticize Remarkable Be Gives amazing in lightening BUTTERFLOSS Remarkable Beauty Treatment Gives amazingly quick results in lightening dark skins Now it is remarkably easy to have a lighter, looser, better skint than your stockings or simply your compulsion is.

Lee Ferd, at Milam and Prairie bent telling a group of conrades "what it's all about." No kin to Henry Ford!

That "filler" miscalled his calling when he failed to go on the stage and draw down pay for his wi and humorous The main contention against these "For Negroes" signs is not based on any desire of the race to get away from such racial designation as "Negro," but due to the fact that colored passengers are so often insulted, many times unintentionally, by white passengers entering the colored waiting rooms or coaches with such error and then audibly stating that this is "for migrants." In other words, the colored opponents to such signs assert that, if the "For Negroes" signs are replaced with "For Colored" signs, such members of the white race who are so prone to state, upon entering either colored waiting rooms or coaches or compartments reserved for colored passengers, that such are not allowed, are the "For Colored" signs and state that same are colored people.

The Negro does not object to being called a "Negro," but he does object to and resent rather strenuously being designated as a "nigger"; and it seems that so many of our Southern white people have not trained or can not train their tongues to say Negro. James Thomas, local National Benefit manager, and a young man who has made good in the insurance field "Town" kennels, his insurance! The Informer takes this occasion to commend the officials of the railway systems, and if the change will result in fewer results being hurled upon colored passengers and patrons of these railway systems, then results will certainly justify the change.

THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) hust to the biggest gathering of its kind in its history, and that, due to the fact that the convention would follow the Python grand lodge, the "brave boy" Python grand lodge would "strict their head" since June 3, 2014. If the Southern Pacific Lines can operate a passenger, train in and through the state on which colored passengers can not ride, and get by with it, what will prevent other railroads in Texas from operating on them, and affect colored passengers and patrons of their systems? Talkie: about "Heavenly Houston" and its marvellous expansion, remind us of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club's musical festival at the City Auditorium, Dr. C. R. Johnson's booster song "Houston is a Grand Old Town," in which of its kind and nature yet produced for our fair city as the motif. The Informer hopes that its position in this matter is not misunderstood; for while this paper, speaking for the colored citizenry of Texas, appreciates this latest action of the Southern Pacific Lines in changing the wording on the signs in their colored waiting rooms and coaches and employing two colored passenger solicitors, it holds also to the view that this railroad company and morally owed it to the Southern Pacific provide accommodations on its limited New Orleans-California passenger train. Our Memphis, Tenn. friend and father, Robert R. "Bob" Church, in 1981, kicked off a national battle and always winning some notable partisan or political victory, including the 1984 presidential and the daily papers of the Buff City again, playing up the "race the race" theme. The Negroes of Texas can ask no more, nor expect any less from railway workers, who are shown such a lateral attitude at the back, towards the race. GOVERNOR AL SMITH'S POPULARITY It is said that when the whale was forced to embark Jonah from his manmoth stemch, the Jewish prophet "You can' be a good man done!" Many of the ardent and enthusiastic supporters and booster groups in the city have been prominently mentioned in connection with the presidential nomination by the Democratic party in national convention at Houston, during June, content to mention the donkey and the presidential greetings. Well, "Bell" Church, while not a star, is a big down. In football league, he is in triple-treater star, and is likely to break out, and either make a touchdown or score. He punches, kicks a field goal or break up the opponents' offensive at any mo- These boosters and backers even go further and aver that Governor Smith will carry New York state over any Republican presidential nominee; that no Republican is strong enough to win the nomination. A study of election figures in the gubernatorial races of 1924 and 1926 in New York state will disclose that Governor Smith's main strength and popularity lie in the urban districts of, New York City, and that in neither of these elections did he carry the up-state vote against his Republican gubernatorial opponent. To employ a hackyword expression, we said all of that to say that: "Memo," she added, "to the Sherlocky, who stated publicly after induction into office that he was 'obligated' to Congressman Will Taylor and 'Bob' Church for landing the The state vote in the governor's election of 1924 was 690,170 for Alfred E. Smith, and 1,100,577 for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt; Roosevelt's majority down to New York City being 410,407. One political writer on a Memphis daily newspaper stated that the apology to the postman's membership, shown primarily, that "Bob Church, Negro politics, still has more power in Washington than any Memphis busi- In the gubernatorial context of 1926 between Governor Smith and former Congressman Ogren L. Mills, the state vote was majority down to New York City being 272,308. Statistics further prove that only 1 person out of every 5 in New York City is a native-born American, thus showing that Al Smith's chief strength which lies in New York City, is Church is a square shooter, has barely conceived conviction, because he is fighting for the right to be held to be right and just, and no political Negro in the United States is allowed to be followed and "supporting cast" than the rehabilitable Church of Mumbaia. It is not our intention to even attempt to discount or discredit Governor Smith's political strength, but merely to "keep the record straight" pertaining to the main source of his popularity with the voters in his own state.

The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows does not need introduction to the people, for it is well known in this country for its many deeds of charity and benevolence. In fact, the good deeds that this society has done might be piled up mountain high for your inspection if it were possible for us to go out and gather up even the fragments which these great deeds have left scattered over this great American continent, since its organization in this country. Suffice it to say, at this time, that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is one of the most potent influences at work among our people today, and it is hardly possible for any other organization in this country and throughout the world to have done more substantial work among the Negro race than has this great Order since its organization in the city of New York in 1843. We are bidding for 50,000 Negroes in Texas out of a Negro population of 800,000. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows being one of the oldest institutions, one of the most substantial, and one of the leaders of charity, benevolence and material uplift, should demand the respect and support of all the builders of the race. Now, in consideration of what this Society stands for, what it has already accomplished and in consequence of the preponderance of evidences of its great usefulness as a race builder, we ask the public to continue its support of one of the greatest agencies of our racial development. So, in conclusion, present to the public our New and Extended Book of the Secrets of the evidence of our continual prosperity and usefulness. Your attention is called especially to the following notice and description of these Policies; NOTICE TO LODGES AND HOUSEHOLDS The printed classification of policies and rates of premiums thereon as shown below are in line with the recommendation of the Grand Master to the Grand Lodge session at San Antonio, Texas, August last, which recommendation was adopted and the rates covering premiums on such policies have been worked out by Mr. B. Werkenthein, actuary for the Order. For the information all members of the Order, you are advised that in future, no policies for $100.00 or $200.00 will be issued by the Endowment Department. Future issues will be on the basis of $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800 and $1000. The premium rate will be on the same basis as heretofore, that is, on the age of the member at the time of entry into the Order, as shown in the schedule rate of premiums below. All members of the Order who may desire to increase their policies to a sum greater than that which they are now carrying must be examined by a practicing physician and passed on by Dr. J. R. Moore, G. M. E., in the same manner as when they joined the Order. Where an increase in policy is desired by any member, it should be borne in mind that a separate policy will be issued to cover the increase and in no way affect the policy of the member that is held by him or her at the time application is made for such increase or new policy to cover the additional insurance. The premium on the new policy or increased insurance will be based on the member's age at the time the application for additional insurance is made and not on the member's age at the time he or she first joined the Order. All male members, whose age does not exceed 50 years, are privileged to increase their insurance up to any of the amounts shown in the schedule below by paying the rate of premium shown in the schedule below. No member can increase his policy, whose age exceeds 50 years.
